BAKED ANGEL HAIR WITH EGGPLANT

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 to 6 Japanese eggplants (about 2 pounds total), cut into 1-inch cubes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 pound mild Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
1/3 cup dry red wine
3 cups marinara sauce
1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes
8 ounces angel hair pasta
1 pound mozzarella, diced
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 (17 1/4-ounce) package frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed

Steps:

  • Heat 1/3 cup of oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add half of the eggplant and toss to coat in the oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute the eggplant until it is golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Decrease the heat to medium. Add half of the garlic and saute until it is tender, about 2 minutes longer. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggplant mixture to a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining 1/4 cup oil and the remaining eggplant and garlic.
  • Add the sausage and wine to the same frying pan. Cook over medium-high heat until the wine evaporates and the sausage is brown, breaking the sausage into pieces with the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes. Add the sausage, marinara sauce, and crushed red pepper to the eggplant mixture, and toss to combine.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the angel hair and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until pasta is still slightly crunchy and undercooked. Drain. Toss the angel hair with the eggplant mixture. Cool completely. Add the mozzarella and Parmesan and toss to combine.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Roll out 1 pastry sheet on a floured surface to a 13 1/2-inch square. Transfer to a 9-inch springform pan, allowing the excess pastry to hang over the rim. Spoon the pasta mixture into the pan. Place the second pastry sheet atop the pasta filling. Pinch the edges of the pastry sheets together to seal. Trim the overhanging pastry edges to about 1-inch. Fold the pastry edges in to form a decorative border. Cut a slit in the center of the top pastry to allow the steam to escape.
  • Bake until the pastry is brown and puffed on top, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let stand for 20 minutes. Remove the pan sides and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggplant: Fresh eggplant has a better flavor and texture than eggplant that has been sitting around for a while. Look for eggplants that are firm and have a deep purple color.
  • Roast the eggplant before adding it to the sauce: Roasting the eggplant brings out its flavor and makes it more tender. You can roast the eggplant in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is an important part of this dish, so make sure you use a good quality oil that has a fruity flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to add some heat: The spicy eggplant sauce is what makes this dish special. If you like things spicy, add some extra chili peppers or red pepper flakes.
  • Serve over your favorite pasta: Angel hair pasta is a classic choice for this dish, but you can also use spaghetti, linguine, or penne.

Conclusion:

Angel hair with spicy eggplant sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The roasted eggplant has a smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the spicy sauce. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
